"Working with Kara Crawford while growing my family over the last 6 years has been a gift beyond words. She has been with our family through two homebirths, a home birth-hospital transfer, a miscarriage, along with placenta encapsulation, belly binding, and postpartum doula care...just to sum it up in simple terms.
​
She has helped me learn my mothering-way, counseled my husband and I during dark times, laughed with me and helped me heal on so many levels. Having children was more than just creating a family, it was about authenticity, ownership of the process, radical responsibility, and connecting deeply with my purpose and strength that was not always the most confident. She was always available to answer questions, I found that if she did not have the exact answer, she would point me in the right direction, and was honest with me in a way that you cannot always find when we live in a world eager to please.
​
Kara incorporated my partner, my children, and myself in the journey, it was about us as a system, not just the baby on the way. I brought my imperfect self to the table and laid out every flaw, every strength, and the parts of my personality that are good, bad, funny, and ugly and she met me where I was and took me and my family along the path of learning how best to birth and bring new life into the world with compassion and love.
​
The words of this short testimonial don’t delve into the many layers with each birth, and the loss of one soul early on, she spent so much time, energy, and gave of herself within the partnership more than she probably should. Within these words are a multitude of memories, words of wisdom, questions, information, and resources that shaped me, my babies, my family into a better version of ourselves as a result of her loving care."
